You can geotag your pictures over wifi. The camera reads location and time data and adds it to the exif.Many prefer to have battery hungry tasks separate.

The NEX is good. But not all cameras should be the same. Now we have a choice. The E-M5 retro look was very popular. Many other brands successfully use retro styling.

Every picture needs whatever ratio that suits it best. Who wants an artificial constraint based on 35mm film when you want to be creative.
Call one ratio "proper" looks more like wanting to follow...

I like the look of it. Better than the square box style. The X-Pro1. is also big compared to the Olympus.
The GX7 manages to squeeze anEVF in. But it is compromised compared to the Olympus.

if you want a bigger body you can add the battery grip. The E-M1 is easy to hold with it's front grip.

Nobody knows where the various formats are going. We'll have to wait and see. Even Nikons...

The results from m43 sensors are excellent. Better than many aps-c cameras. It would as pointless foly Olympus and Panasonic to make a big bulky camera as it would for Nikon to make a medium format...

I dont know about the maths, but my E-M5 has a gorgeous viewfinder. Apparently the E-M1 is even better. I dont feel the need to upgrade. The E-M5 has it's faults. But I still love using it.

The price is always determined by what they think the market will pay. And it will drop over time to keep sales moving. Everyone camera maker does that. It would be foolish not to.

Yes. There are many enthusiasts who put all sorts of lenses on their m43 adapter. There is quite a market for secondhand lenses with all sorts of fittings. I've just dug out my old OM 50mm 1.4 lens...

@yabokkie: You'd recommenced the D800 to everyone?
For many, the D800 fails on size, price and weight. A definite "leave at home" camera. There are different markets.

Go for the hip. Then you can still drool over the GX7.
And you can sell a used hip on ebay if you change your mind.

Great. I didn't know about the auto-repeat. I'll try it when I get home. Do you have to be in continuous frame mode? Bracketing usability is still screwed up on the OM-D if you have to use a Myset....

I hope there are firmware upgrades to fix the long list of unnecessary limitations.

I bought a wireless remote timer because I could not find a bluetooth one at the time.
For timelapse this would have been better for 3 reasons.
1) Only one extra battery to charge/change. The one I...
